Ivey won't start Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Ivey will shift back to the bench again, but this time he'll be replaced by Bojan Bogdanovic, who made his season debut against the Cavaliers on Saturday. In 10 games a reserve this season, Ivey has averaged 10.4 points, 2.6 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per game.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Fails to impress
Rotowire
Ivey contributed seven points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Saturday's 110-101 loss to the Cavaliers.
Ivey was moved into the starting lineup Saturday, but despite seeing plenty of minutes, he couldn't generate much offensively. Ivey has been held to single-digit points in three straight games, shooting 26.7 percent from the field in that stretch. With how much coach Monty Williams has tweaked his lineups in recent weeks, there's no telling if Ivey will start Wednesday's game against Memphis.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Moved to bench
Rotowire
Ivey will come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Ivey had been playing well for Detroit until a dud against the Lakers on Wednesday in which he was held to seven points in 19 minutes before fouling out. The Pistons haven't won a game in November, so it's not a surprise to see coach Monty Williams continue to make tweaks to his rotation.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Held in check Wednesday
Rotowire
Ivey chipped in seven points (1-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 19 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 133-107 loss to the Lakers.
Ivey wasn't very efficient from the floor during Wednesday's matchup, and although he salvaged some scoring production at the charity stripe, he snapped a streak of three consecutive games with double-digit scoring totals. Over his five appearances since taking on a starting role, he's averaged 14.6 points, 4.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 28.4 minutes per game.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Ivey (illness) will start Sunday's contest against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Takes on light role in return
Rotowire
Ivey (illness) played 11 minutes and tallied six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one steal in Sunday's 119-108 loss to the Bulls.
The Pistons brought both Ivey and Alec Burks (forearm) back from multi-game absences Sunday, but the latter (21 minutes) nearly doubled up the latter in terms of playing time. Even before he missed four straight games with the illness, Ivey had already seemed to be falling out of favor with head coach Monty Williams. After averaging 31.1 minutes per game as a rookie, Ivey hadn't topped 23 minutes in any of his first six outings prior to falling ill. In addition to fighting with Burks for minutes behind starting guards Killian Hayes and Cade Cunningham, Ivey will also have to fend off rookie first-round draft pick Marcus Sasser, who has made a case for a regular role by averaging 10.2 points on 49.4/43.2/100 percent shooting splits so far this season.

Ivey missed Sunday's matchup due to an illness and may be sidelined for the second half of Detroit's back-to-back as well. Alec Burks (forearm) is doubtful and Joe Harris (shoulder) is out, so the Pistons' backcourt may be shorthanded behind Killian Hayes and Cade Cunningham.

A late addition to the injury report after apparently falling ill overnight, Ivey will end up missing his first game of the season Sunday. Killian Hayes and Cade Cunningham will start in the backcourt, while Marcus Sasser and Joe Harris should be primary backcourt options off the bench with Alec Burks (forearm) joining Ivey on the sideline.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Ivey (illness) is officially questionable for Monday's game against Phoenix.
Ivey being unable to play would leave Detroit thin in the backcourt with Alec Burks (forearm) doubtful and Bojan Bogdanovic (heel) and Monte Morris (quad) amid multi-week absences. Marcus Sasser and Killian Hayes would see extra usage.
Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Solid effort off bench Monday
Rotowire
Ivey closed Monday's 124-112 loss to the Thunder with 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 19 minutes.
Ivey lost his starting role ahead of the 2023-24 season but made a solid claim to recover it with this impressive outing, as he was one of the leading scorers for the Pistons despite logging just 19 minutes. Ivey has struggled with consistency, however, scoring in double digits in two of his four outings but struggling badly with his shot in the other two. Through four bench appearances -- and not seeing more than 25 minutes in any of those contests -- he's averaging 12.3 points and 3.3 assists per game.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Sees just 17 minutes off bench
Rotowire
Ivey closed with four points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 103-102 loss to the Heat.
During the preseason, it became clear that the Pistons would use Ivey off the bench, but his relatively small workload on Opening Night comes as a surprise. Detroit seemed to prioritize Killian Hayes (31 minutes), who started alongside Cade Cunningham, as well as Alec Burks (25) ahead of Ivey in the rotation. Meanwhile, rookie Marcus Sasser saw 10 minutes of action, while veteran Joe Harris played 12 minutes. Keep a close eye on Ivey's workload when the Pistons are back in action Friday at Charlotte.
